V Rising 1.1 boss guide for General Valencia the Depraved, covering location, key attacks, Normal and Brutal Mode strategy, rewards and progression.
General Valencia the Depraved is part of the Risen Ancients V Rising 1.1 boss-guide progression. This guide covers where to find the encounter, the attacks that matter, a practical Normal strategy, Brutal Mode considerations and the progression rewards.
Verified 1.1 level: 84
Location: North Fortress Ruins, Ruins of Mortium.
Spear Spin: Valencia spins her spears around herself, damaging targets that touch the attack and negating damage coming from in front of her. Reposition rather than attacking into the spin.
Her encounter combines aggressive spear pressure with endgame Mortium positioning demands; maintain room to disengage rather than allowing the arena to collapse around you.
Do not attack into Spear Spin from the front. Circle to safer angles, use ranged pressure when melee access is poor and preserve movement for her committed spear sequences.
Confirmed: current references do not identify a new Brutal-only moveset for Valencia. Brutal primarily increases the punishment for mistakes and may alter how aggressively she chains or selects existing abilities, so the strategy remains disciplined positioning and avoiding damage trades.
Defeating General Valencia grants a Tier 3 Blood Spell Point and unlocks Shadow Weave and Primal Jewels recipes. Her rewards also include Nightfall-themed decorative furnishings. The official 1.1 patch raised her level to 84.
